Ranchi’s former deputy commissioner Chhavi Ranjan, arrested in the case of buying and selling land by forging documents, is hiding information. Presently, he is being interrogated in the light of documents and data obtained from digital devices. Here, on the demand of ED, the PMLA court has given remand for four more days for questioning Chhavi Ranjan. On behalf of ED, the court was told that there are still many points of investigation, on which inquiries are to be made.
That’s why six more days remand should be given. After the hearing, the court has given a four-day remand to the ED for questioning Chhavi Ranjan. Earlier, after the end of six days of questioning, the ED presented Chhavi Ranjan in the PML court on Friday. Chhavi Ranjan was arrested by ED on May 7 and sent to jail in judicial custody. It is alleged that while being the Deputy Commissioner of Ranchi from the year 2020 to 2022, Chhavi Ranjan helped non-governmental people for the purpose of personal gain.
